Are you interested in pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, or similar college programs for a career in medicine? Are you wondering what types of courses you should take in college or how to determine if one of these careers is for you?

Come spend a day exploring Goshen College’s programs in pre-medicine to get answers to your questions. You’ll meet current premed students, professors, and doctors  who can provide advice about preparing for college and medical school. Goshen College is a private, Christian liberal arts school in Goshen, Indiana.  We are looking for students who share our passion for using medicine to bring healing to our world.
